Health states that employee on employee, personal relationships, customer on staff, and criminal
intent are all forms of workplace violence [ CITATION USD21 \l 1033 ]. To use a criminal
justice example, if one of the offenders were to attack an officer, that would be categorized as
“customer on staff” as well as criminal intent workplace violence.
